Introduction

Coreza Print supports SSO with Microsoft. To use this feature you must use Printer Deployment & Allocation with MS Azure.

To ensure that Coreza Print can successfully establish a link between your Coreza Print account and your Coreza Print Azure AD enterprise application, we provide an Azure Sign On code. Your Azure Sign On code can be found here https://coreza.com/admin/azure.

 

There are two methods by which you can use your Azure Sign On code;

  1. Share it with your users so that they can enter it into Coreza Print when signing in via Microsoft and prompted.
  2. RECOMMENDED - Use Windows Environment variables / MacOS plist entries to automate this process for your uses.

Windows environment variables

To silently use the Azure Sign-on code with Windows set the following environment variable via a Group Policy. Here is an example. 

UPD_SIGNON_CODE=uxep

Ensure the code "uxep" is replaced with your organization's Sign-on code.

 

Or set it via Group policy:

Additionally for Windows Server environments here is an article explaining how to set env-var via group policy:

Sample batch commands to set environment variables

Setting the signon code at the machine level (requires administrator privilege)

setx UPD_SIGNON_CODE uxep /m

 

Setting the signon code at the user level

setx UPD_SIGNON_CODE uxep

 

 

macOS plist entries

To silently use QuickCodes and/or the Azure Sign-on code, take the following steps:

  • When installing the Coreza Print application using JAMF or a similar deployment tool you also have the option to install a com.directprint.io.plist file (see attachment) onto the device (N.B. System not User level).  
‘<HardDisk>/Library/Preferences/’
  • Its contents must contain the following (see attached file as an example).
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
  <dict>
    <key>UPD_QUICKCODES</key>
    <string>xc12,i2vt</string><!-- change this to contain a list of QuickCodes --> 
    <key>UPD_SIGNON_CODE</key>
    <string>uxep</string><!-- change this to your Azure Sign-on code --> 
  </dict>
</plist>
